Developing Business Leaders

We are very experienced at working with senior executives. We provide challenging, commercially robust support which senior leaders and hi-pos need to be more effective.

Our work involves:

  • Coaching top people
  • Serving as a 'sounding board' to CEOs
  • Developing senior and high-potential managers

We provide executive coaching to:

  • Develop leadership or 'emotional intelligence'
  • Help smooth transitions into new, bigger roles
  • Help 'on-board' senior people in their 'first 100 days'
  • Support leaders driving big change in their business
  • Identify and address development needs in high-flyers

We design and run bespoke international hi-po development programmes:

These are designed to meet very client- specific goals; for example, a current example is “To build a cadre of GMs able to run $500m international, multi-business divisions” Each programme is different but most run 6-18 months and include things such as:

  • Presentations from respected city analysts, non-executive directors, key customers and/or academics
  • Global business projects that address real strategic issues facing their business, have real budgets and that present recommendations to the PLC Board
  • 4-6 month rotations as internal ‘non-executives’, ie attending Exco of another division within their group
